JRM has said he's behind it which implies it's unlikely to be as clear cut as the absolute condemnation of Theresa May's deal and could be very close so a) it looks like the ERG have changed their strategy - presumably now thinking that they'll be better off backing Boris to try to get a Tory Brexit mandate as they can control him and/or have realised that a new referendum - which they know they'll lose considering the number of young people who have become eligible to vote in the last 3 years - is on the cards if they don't get it over the line and b) if it's going to be close the SinnFein factor might kick in to help reject it.

Still trying to work out how Cummings will approach wriggling out of the Benn ruling/new referendum call if Boris's deal is rejected. Whatever he comes up with it's sure to be sneaky and has surely got to be better thought out than trying to coerce Labour into a General Election. He's already played the prorogation/bullshitting the Queen card so I'm wondering what else he'll come up with?

You never know though - maybe Boris and his masters will get this one over the line - even if it is worse than TM's deal. Perhaps they're trying to get agreement without telling anyone the details of what we're supposed to be agreeing to?
